Unknown Fields - Tales from the Dark Side of the City

6 Book Set Bookset designed and illustrated by Neasden Control Centre and City Edition Studio for Unknown Fields. Edited by Liam Young and Kate Davies. Published by the Architectural Association, London.

Unknown Fields is a nomadic design studio that ventures outon expeditions into the shadows cast by the contemporary city, to uncover the industrial ecologies and precarious wilderness its technology and culture set in motion. Tales from the Dark Side of the City is a book series that forms an atlas to the territories and stories of a city that stretches across the entire planet, a city that sits between documentary and fiction, a city of dislocated sites, of drone footage and hidden-camera investigations, of interviews and speculative narratives, of toxic objects and distributed matter from distant grounds. They are a collection of tales from the constellation of elsewheres that are conjured into being by the city’s wants and needs, fears and dreams.

The series includes stories developed from expeditions through Bolivia and the Atacama Desert, the Western Australian Outback, the South China Sea and Inner Mongolia, the gemfields of Madagascar, Far North Alaska and the black sites of the United States.

Adobe Create Magazine

“Across the spectrum of print and online publications, art directors rely on illustrators not only to create beautiful and attention-getting images, but also to help impart information and express complex ideas. Editorial illustrations bring stories to life and entice readers to engage with content. It’s bread-and-butter work for many illustrators, and many find it extremely satisfying. The first step? Getting the attention of an art director.”

Royal London Hospital London - Barts NHS - Vital Arts

Royal London Hospital London - Barts NHS - Vital Arts

The installation in the dental ward of the busy Royal London Hospital at Whitechapel features a mixture of large prints together with illustrations around the wards. The aim of the work was to create a playful dialogue between the illustrated figures, animals, birds, forests and urban architecture which would appeal to both very young children together with teenagers in the same space. The artwork is positioned across the ward particularly in locations where the illustrations could be viewed whilst in the dental chair to help to relax the patients. Also this was installed to create a warm and stimulating environment for staff whilst on duty. Special care was taken to blend the colour scheme into the already existing colours of the dental furniture and other equipment in the ward to create a harmonious balance between the work displayed and hospital architecture. Commissioned by Vital Arts / Barts Health NHS Trust. Photographs by Owen Richards.

Nam June Paik Centre Now Jump!

Neasden Control Centre was invited to exhibit a 2 room installation at the group exhibition Now Jump! at the Nam June Paik Center in South Korea. The intention with the work shown was to form a dialogue between 3D installation and the 2D work already created in the Lost Control publication published by Gestalten; extending 2D imagery and building upon it to create an environment for visitors to explore. With the main emphasis on the state of being a member and consequence of freedom. The large-scale owl watchtower enabled the viewer to climb inside the installation and view the rest of the exhibited work from above exploring surveillance of observing and being watched.
